Skylink Safaris

Prison Island Tour

1 Day

Overview

Discover Zanzibar’s Prison Island – home to giant tortoises, rich history, and crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling.

Itinerary

Once you step onto the island, you’ll have the chance to both feed and interact with the tortoises. If you find the time, consider taking a leisurely stroll through the lush forested interior, where you’ll encounter a diverse array of wildlife, including colorful peacocks, bats, and exquisite butterflies. Be on the lookout for the shy and elusive uikers, a unique tiny antelope species as well. The entire tour typically lasts around 5 hours, comprising 2 hours on the road from your hotel to Stone Town, a 1-hour boat ride from Stone Town to the island, and 2 hours dedicated to exploring the island itself. Pick-up times are available at 9:00 in the morning and 13:00 in the afternoon.
